That is a great idea. I remember hearing folks also blowing a whistle into the phone. I'd scare the crap out of my pets!

received a call from this unknown number today at 1:48 p.m.

please receive this unwanted caller notice and deal with accordingly. i will block it from my phone but ensure it is permanently blocked.
thank you

That's THEIR problem for being PART of the problem! I have ZERO sympathy for telemarketers anymore.

The call cell phones, too. We recently bought a new Panasonic phone that has call blocking. It's great!

I usually report these to the DNC Registry by filing a complaint. But the last couple of weeks, I get a page load error. Does anyone know of another way to file a complaint?

Am so sick of these computer generated calls which refer to an unnamed credit card.  Am adding this one to the list of many !!

Get calls early every morning, shortly after 9 a.m.   I amnot well  and am bothered by the intrusion.
I will report these unwanted calls.

I play dumb and tie up their script reader for as long as I can, saying I really need to lower my interest rates and get them to tell me how they can do it.

They [***] with me, I just return the favor

I play them along also, but since they know they are nothing but a "boiler room of crooks" they act like the low life crooks would, they scurry like cockroaches when the kitchen lights are flipped on.

These idiots calle a few minutes ago I didn't know any one in Nabraska so let the answering machine pick up. The didn't bother leaving a message.
Just a hint don't answer any 800, 877, on any other calls you don't know, let the fools waste their time on an answering machine.

caller id said Nabraska call.

I just checked out that Humor Hotline which DB reccomends on 11 May.

It is a riot.
Question, Can you do this real itme? Can  you  press *72 and the "humor hotline" for your area, at the same time this phone is trying to call you?

Or ,does this diversionnumber have to be set up in advance for the specific spammer telephone number?

If more people used this diversion number, we would not need the do not call list or the FTC.

I also always report all of these numbers to the "FTC, Do NOt Call List."  AS the number of complaints grows, so does the fine assessed by the FTC.
Here is the FTC link.

Here is the HUmorHotlne diversionary link posted again.
Thanks DB for the idea.

We are on the Do Not Call list and have received a barrage of unwanted calls just like this one. Most of them have a recording if you call them back that says "if you do not wish to receive phone calls, press 1 to opt out."  Then the next day they call back again.  and the next and the next until you talk to someone and tell them to get you off the list.  How are they doing this when I am on the Do not call list?  I am going to start reporting them if it doesn't stop.

Call from this number was to lower interest rates. I pressed 1, was connected to person named Austin. As soon as I began asking to remove my number, he promptly hung up.

If you do this they can go back to their records and say they spoke to you at length. Best thing to do is hang up.

Just got a hangup from these guys, for some reason the comcast blocker is never 100% effective.

Call said "This is 2nd reminder about your credit cards"
